MANCHESTER UNITED v ATALANTA
(Tomorrow, 3am, Singtel TV Ch 110 & StarHub TV Ch 214 )
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now in rare, uncharted territory as Manchester United manager.
Support for the Norwegian remains unwavering in Old Trafford’s corridors of power but concerns about simply muddling through are no longer bubbling beneath the surface.
Dressing-room disquiet has now become vocalised, with Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba publicly highlighting the Red Devils’ need to break their vicious cycle of self-defeatism in the direct aftermath of last weekend’s 4-2 reversal against Leicester City.
In the pair’s own words, the 20-time English champions appear incapable of learning from the mistakes that culminated in the defeat at the King Power Stadium. It heralded the end of a record-setting run of 29 English Premier League away games without defeat.
Yet, it is more than the end of that streak which sees United in a state of permanent flux.
